The story of Tang Bohu's order of autumn incense has been circulated in Jiangsu and Zhejiang for more than 500 years, saying that Tang Yin, Wen Zhengming, and Zhu Zhishan are all talented sons of Wu Zhong, and Tang Bohu is especially good at painting, elegant and informal.
The wife of the Chinese scholar of the Wuxi Wang clan led her servants to Wuzhong jinxiang by painting ship, and happened to meet Tang Bohu, who was invited by Wen Zhengming and Zhu Zhishan to visit The Tiger Hill.
At this time, Tang Bohu saw that among the people in Washington was a maid with a bright style and a beautiful appearance. This aroused Tang Bohu's desire to pursue.
To this end, Tang Bohu did not hesitate to change his civilian clothes to apply for a teaching gentleman in Washington, named Hua An, and eventually became a family member with Qiu Xiang.
However, this is only a legendary story, the real Tang Bohu in history, not only does not have the legendary affair, but also lives a poor life and a bumpy life. When he was young, his wife died.
Tang Bohu continued the string at the age of 27 and married He Shi. Unfortunately, the good times did not last long, and in the second year's examination, Tang Bohu was implicated in the examination fraud case and suffered a series of unjust lawsuits.
He Shi saw that Tang Bohu had lost his hope of Shijin, and quarreled with Tang Bohu day by day, and Tang Bohu sent He Shi back to his mother's house with a letter of resignation.
Later, Tang Bohu married Shen Jiuniang, a woman in qinglou, and the two were in agreement, and Tang Bohu also devoted himself to painting since then, and made great progress in Danqing.
At the age of 31, Tang Yin began a "journey of a thousand miles", covering seven provinces of Jiangsu, Zhejiang, Anhui, Hunan, Hubei, Min and Gansu, and made a living selling paintings under poverty.
Tang Yin is good at painting landscapes and brush figures, especially ladies, with beautiful and meticulous brushwork, elegant and elegant, and "Tang painting" is admired by later generations of painters.
His works include "Riding a Donkey back to Si Tu", "Autumn Wind Fan Diagram", "Li Ruirui Diagram", "Marriage Diagram of the First Dynasty", "Mountain Road Song Sound Map" and so on. Poetry and prose include "The Complete Collection of Six Ru LayMen".
The second half of Tang Bohu's life was inseparable from The Peach Blossom Wood, and in the fourth year of Ming Zhengde (1509), Tang Bohu built the Peach Blossom Wood in the north of Suzhou City, and he called himself the Peach Blossom Lord, who wrote the "Peach Blossom Anthem" to describe his life:
Peach Blossom Wood In Peach Blossom An, Peach Blossom Fairy under Peach Blossom An;
Peach blossom immortals plant peach trees, and pick peach blossoms for wine money...
Tang Bohu's main works of art were also produced here. Tang Bohu had a rough life, and his later life was poor and miserable, at the age of 54.
From the perspective of Tang Bohu's bumpy life, he was not called Qiu Xiang's wife, "Tang Bohu Dian Qiu Xiang" was originally "Chen Gongzi Dian Qiu Xiang", because the prototype of "Chen Gongzi Dian Qiu Xiang" Chen Yuanchao, also a Ming Dynasty Suzhou native, and Tang Bohu was the same talent, Feng Menglong at the end of the Ming Dynasty made the identities of the two mistaken.
